K2 power steering fluid O5801E is a clear hydraulic fluid supplied in a 1 L bottle for use in automotive power steering systems. Formulated to provide consistent hydraulic pressure transmission and component lubrication, this fluid helps maintain smooth steering operation, reduce mechanical noise, and limit wear in pumps, valves, and hoses when a clear (colorless) fluid is specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Advantages
This clear power steering fluid offers stable viscosity under typical operating temperatures and enables reliable hydraulic response during normal driving conditions. Its formulation supports lubrication of moving parts within the steering system, helps minimize foaming and aeration, and contributes to quieter operation. The 1 L bottle format is suitable for routine maintenance and controlled top-ups without exposing unused fluid to contamination.
Suitable for
- Top-up and routine maintenance of passenger car power steering systems that require a clear hydraulic fluid
- Replacement of small volumes during steering system inspections or minor repairs
- Applications where a neutral (colorless) fluid is preferred to avoid confusion with color-coded systems
Key specifications
- Appearance: clear, colorless hydraulic fluid
- Packaging: 1 litre plastic bottle suitable for workshop or home use
- Function: hydraulic pressure transmission and lubrication for power steering systems
- Performance characteristics: formulated to resist foaming and provide stable viscosity for reliable steering response
- Compatibility: designed for systems specifying a clear power steering fluid; consult vehicle manufacturer requirements for compatibility with specific seals and materials
How to use
Before use, consult the vehicle service manual to confirm that a clear power steering fluid is specified. Park the vehicle on a level surface and allow the system to cool if recently driven. Clean the power steering fluid reservoir cap and surrounding area to prevent contamination, then open the reservoir and add fluid up to the indicated level. Avoid overfilling. After adding, start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to circulate the fluid and remove trapped air, then recheck the level and top up if necessary. Dispose of any used or excess fluid in accordance with local regulations.
Usage recommendations
Use this product only where a clear, colorless power steering fluid is specified by the vehicle manufacturer. For full compatibility and maintenance intervals, refer to the vehicle handbook or a qualified technician. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat; keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
